"Faces, not places” explains our mission.

A journey is the process through which Friendship Force Clubs around the world meet and foster goodwill and develop lasting friendships.  Journeys take place between clubs.  Ambassadors travel with their home club and are hosted by clubs in other countries. On an inbound journey, our members host the Ambassadors from the travelling club in our homes and likewise on a outbound journey, we stay in our hosts' homes. Friendship Force Victoria and Vancouver Island will continue to require that all members are Fully Vaccinated for Covid 19 for any indoor and outdoor events or activities. 

Outbounds

The Club is responsible for recruiting and preparing Ambassadors for the Friendship Force homestay experience. After the homestay, members may choose independent travel in the region, participation in an optional group tour organized by the Host Committee, or return directly home.

Inbounds

​The Host Club is responsible for recruiting members and citizens from the community who will open their homes to the visiting Ambassadors. The Inbound Committee will arrange local tours and group activities that reflect community life and local culture, with time for the Hosts to share their everyday lives with their guests.
